Fluorinated Silicone Resins
Silico® Fluorinated Silicone Resins combine fluorinated chains with silicone to create ultra-low surface energy. They offer excellent water/oil repellency, stain and chemical resistance, and are ideal for self-cleaning glass, marine coatings, electronics, and anti-fingerprint surfaces.
Product Overview
Silico® Fluorinated Silicone Resins are cutting-edge hybrid materials engineered by integrating fluoroalkyl or silane-terminated groups onto a robust polysiloxane backbone. These resins deliver ultra-low surface energy, excellent hydrophobic/oleophobic properties, and exceptional resistance to weather, UV, and chemicals.
Ideal for self-cleaning glass, marine coatings, anti-fingerprint finishes, and optical topcoats, Silico® fluorinated silicone resins provide long-lasting surface protection across demanding applications in construction, automotive, electronics, and industrial sectors.

Key Features & Benefits
Ultra-Low Surface Energy
Achieves surface energy levels as low as 21–25 mN/m, enabling water contact angles >150°, delivering superhydrophobic and oil-repellent performance.Self-Cleaning & Anti-Fouling
Prevents dirt, water, and oil adhesion—ideal for architectural glass, solar panels, and marine surfaces.Durable Chemical & UV Resistance
Stable under extreme environments, including high temperatures (–60 °C to +200 °C), acidic/alkaline conditions, and prolonged sunlight exposure.High Transparency
Offers ≥92% light transmittance, making it suitable for optical coatings, lenses, and display panels without visual distortion.Custom Formulation Options
Available in both solvent-based and solvent-free dispersions, ensuring broad compatibility with PDMS, RTV systems, and clearcoat formulations.
Key Applications
Self-Cleaning & Anti-Stain Glass Coatings
Used in building façades, mirror treatments, and touchscreens for long-lasting cleanliness.Marine & Offshore Protective Coatings
Reduces marine biofouling on ship hulls, pipes, and platforms by minimizing adhesion of algae and salt residues.Anti-Fingerprint & Easy-Clean Finishes
Ideal for consumer electronics, displays, and smart device surfaces requiring smudge resistance.Optical-Grade Topcoats
For lens protection, sensor windows, and UV-stable films in electronics and LED systems.
